About 150 Muslims were fired from their jobs at a beef processing plant in Colorado for failing to show up for work over a prayer dispute.

Last month, a group of 11 workers at Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan wanted to go pray at the same time in a room in the plant that is set aside for prayer and reflection. Their supervisor asked that the group break up into smaller numbers to not affect production, according to CNN affiliate KCNC. The workers complied with the supervisor's request and went in smaller groups to pray. But after their shift ended, 10 of the 11 workers resigned, turning in their badges and hard hats, Cargill spokesman Michael Martin told CNN. News of the dispute spread to other plant employees, and about 150 Somali workers missed work for three days in protest.

Colorado recognizes “at will” employment. Adios Mohamheads!

Ahhh. So they weren’t fired because of their disruptive praying during work hours, they were fired for not coming to work at all for 3 days.

CAIR should be labelled a terrorist organization.

At what point in history were Somalians thinking:

Gee, it would sure be a good idea to migrate to the US.

Maybe a certain Kenyan knows the answer to that question.

Could this be a tiny weenie clue for why the Middle East is totally dysfunctional? Perhaps Cargill has learned a valuable lesson - hire Mexicans.

about 150 Somalis in a meat packing plant

And we wonder why we are having all these e coli outbreaks? Good riddance to them all.

The latest news is that Cargill is probably going to give them their jobs back. New shift supervisor wasn’t empathetic enough.

I sure hope the security at that plant is tight. I suspect we will see some sort of retaliation for this action.

Better guard that packing plant 24/7 because muzzies don’t like having Allah’s will thwarted and are entitled to take over the world.

Issue pig-dipped ammo to the guards. Announce it.

Deus vult!

Send them all back to Somalia.

I’m tired of letting these ragheads in just to have them take American jobs and then start making demands of the very people who allowed them to enter the country.
